Cladmen.com additional 25% off Sale Items – No Code Necessary

Discount shows up towards the end of the checkout process.  Click here for what Cladmen is.

This is starting to feel more like a going-out-of-business fire sale than anything else.  Maybe that’s not the case at all, but you just don’t see these kinds of names, with this level of drastic reductions, with this variety of sizes still available.  It doesn’t happen.  So it makes you wonder if something is up.

UPDATE:  Something is most certainly up.  Credit Jessy for the find.

Over 400 items have been added to their sale section.  They also keep throwing the word “final” around in their graphics.  But there’s no mention that these items can’t be returned.  Their return policy doesn’t say anything about non returnable final sale items either.  But who knows.  They do ding you a total of $10 for return shipping & a restocking fee, but at least shipping is free when you buy it.  Picks now.  Questions later…

BOSS Black Wool Stripe Sport Coat – $148.43 ($495)
Sport coat addicts rejoice?

No chest pocket on this thing.  Interesting.  Also comes with “a split panel in the shoulders for mobility.”  That works too.  All wool, nice striped pattern, and looks like it’ll do just fine with trousers or jeans.  Sizes start at 40R, so, apologies to the fellows with the trimmer more slight builds.

 

Hush Puppies Burnished Chukka & Retrospect Lace Ups – $29.93 ($115)
To boot or not to boot. Your choice.

Under thirty….  All right then.  The Chukkas claim to have a hand stitched construction and a natural crepe outsole.  Hush Puppies aren’t Allen Edmonds by any stretch, but again… thirty bucks?

 

Bruno Magli Cap Toe Oxfords – $112.43 ($425)
Yes sirrrr.

To quote Friday… Damn.

 

Michael Kors Leather Racing Jacket – $237.68 ($795)
Lots of looks for the price.

Was pushing $800, now in the low two-hundreds.  Full grain leather, and nice work with those extra long zippers that have pulls at either end.  Real simple with the exception of those longer than normal zippers.

 

Bruno Magli Hiking Boots – $131.18 ($395)
Made in Italy of course.

There are two types of people in this world.  Those that won’t even consider a pair of boots unless they can survive weeks at a time tromping through the wilderness while supporting the legs of a human carrying a good amount of gear on his back… and then there are those who will salivate over these.  And actually get them dirty.

 

Joseph Abboud Wool Plaid Sport Coat – $148.43 ($495)
USA! USA!

You’ll pay about $150 for an on sale cotton sport coat from Banana Republic.  This one is all wool, made in the USA, and comes with a half canvas chest piece.  The plaid is a grey base with some blue and brown thrown in.  Still time to wear it before the weather turns warmer, and one of those things you might look forward to pulling out of the closet each October for years to come.

 

John Varvatos Star USA Tonal Plaid Slim Fit Dress Shirt – $26.93 ($90)
Depth without getting freaky.

Nice, nice work on the pattern here.  Sizes are a bit limited, but there’s some average ones in there.  For now.

 

BOSS Black Wool Striped Suit – $312.68 ($795)
Means business, and you won't have to cash out your 401k.

That’s a hell of a price for fully canvassed.  Wool looks like flannel, but it’s not flannel, so you shouldn’t be burning up in it once the temps get back above freezing.  Flat front trousers, the lapels don’t look razor thin nor do they look too big… a classic stripe with modern details.

 

BOSS Black Gingham Dress Shirt – $25.43 ($95)
Plenty of sizes available for now.

Looks like the collar might be a little too spread to wear without a tie, but with a pair of wurkin’ stiffs you might be able to muscle those points to where the lines will frame your face.  Regardless… twenty five bucks.

 

7 For All Mankind Standard Mercer – $45.68 ($174)
A luxury wardrobe basic for a basic price.

Italian denim, made in the USA, a button fly, and a classic straight leg “standard” fit.  Sounds a hell of a lot like 501s for less than a pair of 501s.

 

John Varvatos Star USA Dress Chukka – $74.93 ($295)
Seventy five bucks.

So there’s a few logos on there, but at least they’re subtle.  Real, real nice medallion on the toe.  Credit Josh in the comments for finding these.

The Extra 25% off sale items expires 2/29/2012, but don’t expect sizes and selection to last that long…

Comments

  1. What’s Clad’s return policy again? Can’t seem to find it on the website, but I’m not fully awake yet either.

    Also – did you see these? http://www.cladmen.com/on-sale/footwear/dress-chukka.html

  6. Bought the Bruno’s – been looking for a pair of brown oxfords for a while. Nicely spotted, Joe.

  7. Yeah, I’m leaning towards getting them, just cause they’d be really versatile in the way I dress. 

  8. Man, 40R, 16 34/35 and 32″ are absolutely pillaged. 

    Wish those oxfords came in black. :O

  9. I have very similar ones by John Varvatos without the medallion on the toe. I wear them all the time and love them. I’m wearing them now in fact.

  11. nice! how do Varvatos run in sizing? I’m a 13 with room to spare in clarks, and a 14 in merrills, and somewhere between the two in florsheims. If the Varvatos run small, I’m probably SOL. 

  12. Dang…Boss shirt is sold out in my size…still showing as available until you try adding to cart.

  13. Damn, just picked up that gingham shirt, a white CK french cuff, TOOAWESOME cognac duckie brown x florsheim wingtips, those 7FAM jeans, and a tie + pocket square to top it off….

    Spending my raise! Thanks Joe!

  16. No!!!!!!! I missed the Bruno’s because I was looking at other stuff. I will have to console myself with the Hugo Boss Navy suit. 

  17. They’re relatively true to size.  They definitely don’t run small, maybe a touch big, but less than a half size.

  18. Hmm. Been looking for some dark rinse jeans for quite some time. Might be hard to pass up 7FAMK for Gap/Levis prices. Anybody know how the sizes run? I’m normally 31. Thinking about dropping down to 30 so they will stretch. Thoughts?

  19. Damn, I needed a new pair of dress oxfords and those went out of stock.  Anyone have another suggestion in that price range?  Shopping for dress shoes is one of the most WTF-inducing things I’ve done lately.

  20. Lol @ this purple, velvet blazer. I wish I had tons of money and my lifestyle matched up to some of these clothes. 

  24. WTF. Everything says the sizes, but nothings in stock.

    I want the 7s, Hugo shirt, and JV boots.

  27. Thank you!  Just picked up the Boss shirt, a Ben Sherman shirt, a new briefcase and some Hush Puppies all for what I would spend on a nice shirt!

  28. I have those same Magli’s…paid about that for them. I highly recommend them. Great quality, durability. 

  29. I’ll do it if you do it! We’ll go down together, you and me on the sale boat (groan). 
    But seriously, I’m worried about the pants, there’s no sizing info and I hate when you guy a suit and it’s one-size-fits all pants. I’m looking at the navy in a 40L. 

  30. Whoops, I don’t have the same ones. The ones I have look exactly like those, except I have the leather-soled shoes. These shown are rubber-soled.

  32. Nooooo, whyyyyy! Those Varvatos chukkas…that Abboud sportocat…amazing! But I already spent way over my budget on clothes in January. =(

  33. I’m out.  It says they have 36S when I did the search, but when I viewed it in the cart it was out of stock.

  34. 7 jeans out of stock in my size. Hush Puppies shoes out of stock in my size. Varvatos shirt out of stock in my size. Varvatos chukkas out of stock in my size. Bummer.

  37. No need crying over spent….errr..spilled milk.
    It’s February. New month, new budget.

    PS: That plaid sports coat will absolutely make panties drop.

  41. Thank you very much.  Picked up 2 7’s in a dark wash (I prefer Austyn cut – might add that these 7’s are made in USA) and 2 belts.  Can anyone comment on the quality of the Remo Tulliani 100% genuine leather belts? 

  43. Seems like a good time to pick up some vacation shoes. Any recommendations on a good choice in this sale to be used for hanging around the French Riviera in August?

  44. Any idea what to expect there?  I need to buy these this weekend as I’m flying out for a job interview on Thursday, hate to miss out on a sale like that.  Not sure I can risk waiting till then.

  45. Damnit, Satan! (I have a girlfriend, so I don’t have to worry about specific items making panties drop anymore. Besides…that’s what cashmere is for.

  47. Someone posted this–http://www.styleforum.net/t/141581/allen-edmonds-appreciation-thread/2430#post_5170670

    I can’t vouch for the shoes or prices, but I do know the 7th is correct. If you’re on a schedule then maybe don’t.. I dunno. Call Allen Edmonds and ask, they’re nice!

  52. Same thing is happening with me. I’ve tried to add 5-7 different items to my bag and it says “Item is out of stock”. What gives?

  59. I actaully own that Hugo Boss coat, and it’s easily my favorite blazer/sport jacket. It wears incredibly light. It’s a great jacket to get if you’re not used to wearing them. It won’t feel heavy or constricting at all, and it looks fantastic.

  61. They don’t ship to Canada. This is someone’s way of telling me I don’t need more clothes. That sigh you hear is audible relief from my credit card. Great finds.

  62. I picked up a J. Fold duffel and wallet, Boss tux, a few pairs of colorful socks, a few bottles of facewash, and the Marchesi elephant tie. 

    Terrific deals, but I’m pissed I missed out on the Maglis and Duckie Browns.

  65. Just to give you a heads up, they’re having problems accepting American Express and Discover credit cards.  If you get the error “Could not create credit card profile.  Check info and try again,” you’ll need to use another card.  The customer service rep couldn’t give me an idea of when it might get fixed.  She said I could try next week and hope it goes through.  I don’t know if my $33 suede monk strap hush puppies will still be available in my size by then :)

  70.  Just realized my no-spend January has been up for 3 days, so I pulled the trigger on this without thinking twice. Thanks!

  71. Same issue, and on the same fine looking monk strap chuckas. I ended up whipping out the emergency mastercard since I’m not betting on therm still being there if and when they get around to sorting out their Discover problems. 

  72. Ahhhhh!!! Those shoes are incredible, but are sold out! Why did I have to go get drunk last night and sleep in all day

  73. I recently got these in the plain toe in size 9 and it was just about right, but on the tight side in the toes. I am a true 9.5c, but typically wear 9d in allen edmonds and many other brands. I returned because they were just too similar to something i already owned, but they were very nice.

  74.  Yes, and now I want to pay full price because I want them.

    Couldve definitely used some new 7s for $45 too. A gingham shirt wouldnt have hurt either.

  75. They look real solid. Worries me, though, that you can’t choose a length, and it doesn’t say that they’re unhemmed…

  76. Stuff is going fast, that’s what.  I got home, sat down to buy the Bruno Magli captoes and they were already gone in a day.  I consoled myself with a pair of Bruno Magli suede slipons for (net) $135 from $395.  Boss Black navy slacks for $70 instead of $225 and an $80 tie from Abboud for net $20.  $700 poof–$200.  Got to keep an eye on it to see what else they blow out.

  77. Unfortunate that they’re going out of business. I’ve bought from them before and they have some very nice things. A little pricey but the sales were good sometimes. 

  78. Would have loved a pair of the Retrospect Lace ups but my size was gone.  Picked up some 7s and the Duckie Brown white/grey saddle shoes.  Very tempted to order a few more things as well.

  81. Don’t ship to Oz!
    Can’t even enter my Oz billing address and purchase through a freight forwarder – would have to use their “personal shopper” and add another 10% to the prices, as well as International Shipping which I would already be up for.

    Might have to save my money :-(

  83. Anyone having trouble entering a credit card?  I keep getting an approval error.  I called the credit card company to make sure everything was okay and they’re saying that it’s probably the cladmen website.

  87. I got shipping confirmations on my orders.  Bruno Magli loafers from $465 down to $120.  I think it’s my birthday.

    BTW all, the Billy Jealousy Hydroplane Shave Gel was an Esquire groom pick of the year a couple of years back.  I’ve always wanted to try it, and for these reduced prices it would be criminal not to.

  90. If anyone has the Hugo Boss black gingham shirt in size 16.5L (34/35), please post here. I’m interested in buying it!

  91. I ordered the Hush Puppy Chukkas and the Boss gingham shirt & got more order yesterday.  CLAD sure does an impressive job packaging up their orders–I’ve received stuff from Burberry that wasn’t packaged so extravagantly.

    The I’m wearing the chukkas now, and definitely a steal for $29.  Very comfortable and nice coloring on the leather.  The Boss shirt is also really nice and slim fit.  The collar is a bit wide as mentioned, but I still think I might be able to get away with wearing it without a tie.  Maybe.

    It’s too bad CLAD couldn’t keep this pricing and stay in business; great stuff.
